The Metro Grand Reference Gold has been upgraded to a series 2
version for even greater performance. The current model has been
recognized worldwide as a true reference and yet, musical
transducer.

The advent of cutting edge components and techniques has allowed for
an even greater approach to the sound of "live music." While many of
these techniques remain proprietary, we can share some of the new
features that have been incorporated into series 2.

The twin 160mm magnesium cone bass drivers, with massive Alnico
magnets, have been further updated. Electrical and magnetic
distortion have been further reduced from the already very low
distortion of the original Gold model. In addition, electrical "drag"
has been greatly reduced, allowing the new woofers to respond to the
lowest levels yet. This improvement in bass low-level resolution and
dynamics improves "life-like fidelity" over the whole range of the
loudspeaker. Transients literally "explode" from a quiet black
background, as in "live music."

The true ribbon tweeter has been further upgraded with components
built in-house. The crossovers have been upgraded with the latest
components, not available for the original version. Additional Nordost
silver wire is utilized.

The Metro Grand Reference Gold 2 utilizes a double platform
ball bearing isolation base to further reduce the coloration of
floor-borne vibrations for a more dynamic sound.
